Ingredients
- 300 g fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 orange juice and zest or 150ml orange juice
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 2-3 tbsp port optional
Instructions
- Place the orange juice, zest (if using), port (if using) and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer.
- Add the cranberries and simmer for about 5 minutes for fresh cranberries, or 10 minutes for frozen cranberries.
- Keep stirring the mixture, the cranberries will begin to burst and the sauce will start to thicken.
- Transfer the cranberry sauce to a bowl and leave to cool. The sauce will thicken even more as it cools.
- If you are making it in advance, leave it to cool down completely before storing in a fridge (for up to 7 days).
Notes
Store made cranberry sauce in the fridge for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
